Nicki Minaj Hits the Bar Mitzvah Circuit

A 13-year-old New York kid named Matt made bar mitzvah history last night, surprising his tween-age friends by bringing none other than Nicki Minaj onstage for the festivities. Nicki posed for photos along Matt's very own step-and-repeat, sang hits including "Super Bass" and "Only," and imparted wise words to the teen guests. "Stay in school and don't be a slouch or a bum ... And ladies, never let a man have to take care of you, do you understand me? Be your own woman, be your own person." Mazel Tov, Matt. You're the man, now.
